My wife suggests I take it somewhere and get it fixed. After all the fuss, I totaly agree. I have no doubt that this problem was caused by the changeoever to ULSD in that I first developed leaks in the clear lines and onced fixed had new leaks in the IP pump delivery valves. I all happened so ubrubtly.

My seals leaked and ULSD in the US hadn't even begun to be talked about and couldn't be bought in my area then and probably can't be bought today, so ULSD had nothing to do with my leaks. I think the thing just leaks on it's own, after about ten years, well after the warranty period that Mercedes cover those 2 dollar rubber parts that they put on their $70,000.00 (at the time) cars. Anyway, good luck. And when a leak occurs, just fix it. 603 pumps are a piece of cake now, based on the information one can get at this site. When I first started, it was a night mare. And then Mercedes designers always put SKULLS designed into their components to help SCARE YOU AWAY, if you are unsure of what you are doing. Mercedes also design the male's reproductive organ EVERYWHERE on the cars that I own. So, when you screw up and get stuck, you have to look at that MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN staring at you. And if you aren't careful, you can almost feel like one of those hoses (female end) being pulled over one of those male reproductive organ, tipped steel lines. Anyway, you can't get discouraged, no matter what you tear up. I think it is better to screw your ownself, rather than let somebody else screw you, and then you have to pay them on top of it.
